Self-contained swab and vial for increased productivity and efficiency.

3M™ Swab-Sampler with 10 mL D/E Neutralizing Broth is a convenient and quick collection device for environmental sampling and testing over small surface areas.

Sample collection is easy with the attached swab and the vial provides ample headspace for sample addition and vortexing to release organisms from the swab. This sampling is decontaminated through gamma irradiation for long shelf life. The 3M Swab-Sampler is made in the USA and is ISO 9001:2008 certified for quality assurance. It is intended for lab use only.The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) approach is the most widely accepted food safety management protocol worldwide. Sample collection products from 3M are a crucial part of this approach to identify potential food-borne hazards and pinpoint where they reside. Portability, stable enrichment media, and easy-to-handle swabs and sponges are designed to test for a wide variety of potential hazards and deliver exceptionally accurate results. They are engineered to safely gather, hold, and secure contents from the collection site to the lab without leaking or compromising the sample.D/E Neutralizing Broth was developed by Dey and Engley is used in disinfectant testing where neutralization of the antiseptics and disinfectants is important for determining its bactericidal activity. It is effective for neutralizing a broad spectrum of disinfectants and preservative antimicrobial chemicals, such as ammonium compounds, phenolics, iodine, chlorine preparations, mercurials, formaldehyde, and glutaraldehyde. D/E Neutralizing media will neutralize higher concentrations of residual antimicrobials than other standard neutralizing formulations, such as Letheen media, Thioglycollate media, and Neutralizing Buffer.
